I am unable to get a detail view for contacts in act premium 2013. This happens in all databases.

When I double click on the list of contacts nothing happens. If I click on the detail view nothing happens. At one time this worked but now it doesn't. I have tried to reload the default contact layout and still have the same problem exists.

Are you accessing this in the application version of Act! Premium, or through a web portal?

When we see a problem like this that happens in all databases, we have to assume that there is an issue that is affecting the application's abililty to activate that control. Since it doesn't give you an error message, let's test the layout itself.

Go to Tools>Preferences

On the Startup tab, change your startup view to "Contacts"

Make sure the "Open each view in a new window" is not checked (You can test both ways if you want)

Click OK, Close your database, and reopen it.

The desired behavior here is that it opens up your record.

I'm hoping it will either open the contact view, or give you an error message that will pinpoint what is causing the error.

When opening in the detail view in start up the the screen is white and frozen. This happens on all databases whether on a network or local. The problem is only happening from one PC. Is it my screen resolution or IE?
